MYSTYLE: When In Paris Skirt.

I have fallen in love with skirts all over again.  There, for a very long time, I wouldn't wear skirts.  Not sure why I gave up on them, I guess I just went through a frumpy phase and only wanted to put on pants.

This particular skirt was made with fabric I found at Walmart.  Yes, for $1.00 a yard.  Its very light and I did not line.  I added pockets, because, I add pockets to everything.  I need pockets in my life always.  The skirt is pleated with an invisible zipper.  I paired my "When in Paris Skirt" with a sleeveless cross body top and denim bolero.  My shoes are nude pumps by Jessica Simpson.



Happy Sewing!

    Adorable but I was wondering if you could show how to figure out where to add pockets in a garment. I tried once but put it too low and had to cut it out. Thanks so much.

      Thanks Regina. I always find cute fabrics at Walmart and many of them are from the designers as Walmart and these fancy fabric stores. I have bought bad fabric from there too, but not often.
